      Good thing phone cameras aren’t the only cameras.

      The world is constantly under monitoring from hundreds of different groups. At least one of them would have produced a video is it existed.

        Well, yes, but your point and the OPs point are very common and it’s almost always paired with the fact most people have cameras in their pocket now.

        Also, most security cameras are small sensors too.

        I do agree that it’s strange not much has been captured. But I also feel like this is a valid plausible reason.

          Security cameras and phones aren’t the only cameras. It doesn’t matter how many “bad” forms of camera you list - there are still thousands of good cameras pointing up at the sky day and night 24/7.

      They maybe aren’t ideal, but they’d be good enough that we’d have thousands of videos by now. You might not be able to tell exactly what’s there, but you would be able to correlate them all and have pretty definitive proof. That hasn’t happened yet though, so clearly there’s an issue with the initial hypothesis. Maybe something like it being aliens makes no damn sense. How would they be able to get here but also need to fly aircraft around. We can watch what’s happening on earth from space with fairly high detail and we have trouble just leaving our atmosphere.
